Nina Myskow, Queen of Jackie Magazine, on love, Donny Osmond and David Cassidy

She ran Jackie magazine. Then became The Sun’s Queen of Pop. Judged New Faces in the 80s. And she’s still telling the truth. Bluntly. On this episode of Suddenly Single, Nina Myskow talks Donny Osmond vs David Cassidy, pin-ups and pop stars. She spills on kissing a man at work after a few cosmopolitans, why Sundays are hell when you’re single, and how relaxing led her to the love of her life at 43. There’s crisps thrown off balconies, champagne, weight loss, her loathing of social media and why dating is harder now than it ever was. Funny. Nostalgic. And very, very honest. If you remember Jackie magazine, maybe even wrote in to fictional agony aunts Cathy & Claire, you’ll love this. And if not, find out how Jackie - and Nina - helped to raise a generation of women. 00:00 Hello Nina, Queen of Jackie Magazine 00:45 From Page To Stage: Jackie The Musical 01:52 Cathy & Claire: The Agony Aunts Who Defined A Generation 03:21 Pin-Ups, Posters and Puberty: Donny Osmond and David Cassidy 05:23 The Typical Jackie Reader - And Why Nina Thinks It's Awful To Be A Teen Now 06:15 Finding Love at 43 - Nina's Relationship Advice 08:30 Behind The Gloss: What Magazine Life Was Really Like In the 1980s 09:20 Champagne, Crisps And Kissing The Head Of Security 12:42 How He Became Mr Right 15:33 Why Nina Didn't Kiss Many Frogs 16:05 Nina's Weight Loss - And How It Changed Everything 18:40 Why Nina Hates People Doing Their Make-Up On The Train 20:05 On The Road With Legends - Travelling With Freddie Mercury and Elton John 21:00 Dancing With Yoko Ono In New York 25:04 Why Nina Doesn't Do Date Nights 27:22 Why Nina Would Ban Smartphones for Under 16s. 30:32 Honesty Box - Nine Says No To Tweakments and Botox 35:40 Nina's Plans For 2026 37:52 Nina's Straight-Talking Advice To Men Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bestmagazine...
